| (*)In particular, they are able to
Explain basic principles of the finite element method (FEM) and describe its workflow, discretization, element types and approach functions [k2]
analyze locking effects, superconvergent points and differences between implicit and explicit solver methods [k4]
Implement material models for different polymer classes (linear-elastic, hyperelastic, elasto-plastic, strain-rate dependent) and verify the numerical results with simple Abaqus examples (tensile bars, cross-specimen etc.) [k3, k4]
Demonstrate the application of Moldex3D for injection molding processes and derive effects on component behavior [k3, k5]
Understand methods of micromechanics and ICME (Integrated Computational Materials Engineering) and evaluate their relevance for the finite element analysis of polymer components [k2, k5]
